Max Power Need help with SOQL statement for a custom object with a lookup field
Please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area, but this is my first Salesforce application. I've created a custom object (called Cred) to store credentials to a 3rd party service. This custom object has the standard Name field, a password field, and a lookup field that references the User object. There should only be one entry in the Cred table per user, although there is nothing preventing multiple entries. I have chosen to implement this way, as this does not require a modification to the User table.
I am implementing an Apex web service that will consume a 3rd party web service using the credentials associated with the current Salesforce user. My problem is that I do not know how to retrieve this record. I am passing the Apex web service the User.Id of the current user, and I would like to know how to write a SOQL statement to retrieve the Cred entry that references that User account.
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Max
It sounds like your query will be as simple as
Select [some fields] from Cred__c where User__c=[the user id]
Thanks so much for the reply. I suspected that the reference field was an ID, but I couldn't find any documentation that would confirm that. The SOQL statement that you gave me worked perfectly. I'll definitely take a look at Force.com Explorer.
